Tinsel a production of MNET-DSTV. It started with its Season 1 in 2008. The show is centred on Fred Ade Williams, a major player in the glamorous world of the Nigerian film industry. Shot in Lagos and shown across Africa, Tinsel premiers solely on M-Net West Channel 102 at 8:30 pm on the Dstv platform.

It's All About Me: Kwame calls Angela a thief and actually threatens to call the police on her for breaking into his office and stealing her medical files - the same medical files that he's been blackmailing her with and that he stole from her doctor's office in the first place! It's only when Angela tells him point-blank that he would need to explain how he had them at all, that he backs down.

He also genuinely believes that he can make Telema happy and is willing to blackmail her into marriage to do so. The fact that the last time he tried to make her happy resulted in her being raped and ostracized seems to have completely gone over his head...

Jail Bait: Seventeen year old Emil is this to Angela Dede when they first meet.

Jerkass Has a Point: A lot of the stuff Masters says in Season 5 to Angela. He might be evil but when he tells her that she keeps letting herself be used by people who don't give a damn about her, fandom stood up and cheered.

Out of Focus: It's a big ensemble show so it's bound to happen to every character now and then but it's particularly jarring for Amaka Okoh in Season 5.

Written-In Absence: Brenda's alcholism in Season 4 eventually ended up with her in rehab... and gave Funlola Aofiyebi-Raimi enough time to have her baby and get back.

Telema Duke's actress, Damilola Adegbite, quit at the end of Season 4 and so Telema has been in the UK shooting a film for half a year now. Some fans argue that her absence has been more influential to the other characters and storylines than her physical presence ever did.

Romance on the Set: Chuks and Ene get married in Season 4, and mid-way through the airing of Season 5, the actors Florence Uwaleke and Iyke Okechukwu get married for real.
